Babies are our business, our only business.

The line frames infant care as an institution’s singular, overriding mission. By repeating “business” and adding “our only business,” it uses the language of commerce to insist that everything—policy, staffing, training, and ethics—should be judged by one standard: the welfare of babies. The phrasing also implies specialization and accountability, pushing back against distractions such as profit, prestige, or bureaucracy. In quotation collections it is often used as a motto-like statement for maternity hospitals, neonatal units, adoption agencies, or child-welfare organizations, emphasizing that the most vulnerable clients must remain the central priority.
